Love Is Easy-A Pudd Fanfic(McFly)

Chapter 3

*Dougie's POV*

I spent half an hour in the car, parked outside Harry's, talking myself into going up to the door. 'What's the worst that could happen? I mean, well our friendship could break down and McFly could break up, but that won't happen. Will it?' I thought. 'But if Harry likes me, then he'd understand right?' I got out of my car and walked to the door. I knocked quietly once, still thinking it all through. Then I made up my mind and knocked louder 3 times.

"Harry, you there?"

"Doug? Is that you?"

"Yeah, um can I come in?"

"Yeah, yeah hang on a sec."

I waited a few seconds and the door opened. Harry was stood there in some track suit bottoms and a hoodie, no shirt, and I could see his gorgeous body peeking through. 'WHAT AM I THINKING. Do I like him like that?'

"Doug? Are you gonna come in or what?"

"Oh right yeah, sorry."

I stepped in and let him lead me into the living room.

"You want a coffee?"

"I'm alright, ta, I just had one at Tom's."

'Shit, he's gonna realise, shit shit shit.'

Harry looked slightly worried and went into the kitchen. He called through "So, er, what have you been doing...you know er, with Tom?"

'Damn, what am I going to say?'

"Oh, you know, writing songs, talking about tour, discussing the sixth album, stuff like that."

Harry came back in with the coffees looking more relieved that when he left. He must have believed me.

"Cool, so what did you want to talk about?"

"I don't know really, I just haven't seen you on your own for ages. You weren't busy tonight were you?"

I couldn't bring it up now, he'd know.

"Dougie. I know why you're here."

'Shit.'

"What? Why?"

"Tom told you, didn't he?"

"Told me what, Harry, I-"

"Stop lying, Doug, you know I like you, so what did you want to say?"

'What do I say, what do I say.'

"I just wanted to know if it was true, I mean, it was a bit of a shock. I thought you were great with Izzy, like, everything was going brilliant but it just suddenly ended and I didn't know what happened. And then you started being all weird around me, so I called Tom and I went round. He told me you liked me and I just had to see if it was true."

Harry looked shocked that I'd actually told him. I felt bad for breaking my promise with Tom, but I didn't want to hide things from Harry.

"Oh, well, yes it is true Doug. I've liked you for ages, but so I asked Izzy out to hide it. My mum wouldn't forgive me if I came out so I pretended to be straight. The fandom started shipping us and I was scared something would come out so I proposed. I admit, I like Izzy a lot, and she's perfect in every way. But you, Doug, are more than perfect."

"Wow, well I, I don't really know what to say..."

"Say how you feel." he prompted. 

"I like you Harry, I really do, but I'm not sure if I like you in that way. I mean, what about Lara."

*Harry's POV*

 I knew he'd bring her up. He'd fallen for her and there was nothing I could do about it. We'd a small fling after Frankie but he says it just helped him forget her, he didn't really like me in that way. I couldn't let it go, though. I just wanted to be able to hold him in my arms again. But there was Lara.

"I don't know, Doug, I guess it's between her and me."
